The danger of a single story:
Author Chimamanda Adichie in her talk “The Dange

The danger of a single story:
Author Chimamanda Adichie in her talk “The Danger of a Single Story” has cautioned us about the problems of a singular narrative about a place or culture.
After listening to Chimanada’s Ted talk : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9Ihs241zeg,
You will discuss how can you showcase different stories about Africa as an artist, curator, writer or teacher and what stories do you feel compelled to present.
Prepare a PPT with five-six slides that shall outline your visual method of telling a different story of Africa. That is, by drawing inspiration from the films we watched, tell me how will you from your unique perspective (cultural, philosophical, academic, and linguistic) like to tell others stories about Africa and African cultural and political histories. What sort of innovative and meaningful techniques will you choose to not essentialize Africa/Africans and make them look miserable. How will you inform those who have no prior knowledge of the subject about African diversity?
What to do
–You can incorporate images, audio, and video into your PPT.
–The word count in total for all the slides (500 words). That is if you have 6 slides, a collective word count of 500 words.
–Think of a catchy title and subtitle that’ll justify your arguments in each PPT
–You are also welcome to incorporate images from other popular media that perpetuates a unidimensional story of Africa
